BELLINI

Giovanni Bellini was an Italian Renaissance painter, probably the best known of the Bellini family of Venetian painters which included his father, Jacopo Bellini, his brother, Gentile Bellini, and his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna. He is considered to have revolutionized Venetian painting, moving it towards a more sensuous and coloristic style. Through the use of clear, slow-drying oil paints, Giovanni created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings. His sumptuous coloring and fluent, atmospheric landscapes had a great effect on the Venetian painting school, especially on his pupils Giorgione and Titian.
